Dean Wallis (born 27 August 1969) is a former Australian rules footballer for the Essendon Football Club of the AFL.

Originally from Nhill, due to his physical style of play Wallis became known as one of the AFL's toughest players. He won premierships with the club in 1993 and 2000, and played 127 VFL/AFL games in his 14 seasons with the Bombers.

After retiring as a player, he became an assistant coach. In 2002 and 2003, Wallis was an assistant coach to Grant Thomas at St.Kilda before again returning to Windy Hill to take up an assistant coaching role. He left the club after Matthew Knights was appointed as senior coach in 2008,{{cite web |url=http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22527600-11088,00.html |title=Knights cleans out assistants Gary Ayres, Dean Wallis |work=Herald Sun |author=Matthews, B. |date=2007-10-04 |accessdate=2008-08-23}} and he moved to the Fremantle Football Club as an assistant coach.
